Lauren has had lead roles in several internationally-screened short films, and she has self-produced her one-woman show "how to do thangz with wordz" for the Hollywood Fringe Festival and other Los Angeles stages. Virtually, Lauren appears in several webseries ("Words With Girls," "Swipe Click Bang," as LA Web Fest's Outstanding Guest Actor on "Those With Class"); she jests in skits and sketches from 5secondfilms and UPROXX; and she gets violent in a string of music videos with multi-platinum Island recording artist Fall Out Boy.

She performs live, writes, and records as her award-winning alter ego Licki Ucroj, a Nicki Minaj-inspired comedienne/rapper with an ever-expanding fan base in underground hip-hop.
